About this ebook

Home is where the love is…

Colin Wright and Mia Blair grew up in Icicle Falls, but they left years ago—and not on good terms. Now Colin's grandmother, Justine, has died, and they've come home to honor this woman they both loved. That's when they get some unexpected news. They're about to inherit something. Jointly. They just have no idea what. It turns out that Justine's designed a treasure hunt for them, like the ones they enjoyed when they were kids and best friends.

But they're not kids anymore, and they sure aren't best friends. As for that young love they once shared? Well…it's complicated.

On the trail of Justine's treasure, they follow a series of clues that take them down memory lane—ending up at the orchard on Apple Blossom Road. What will they find there? And what did Justine know that they didn't?

Ratings and reviews

I love my visits to Icicle Falls, and this story was no exception. What's even more fun is that you are on treasure hunt with Mia and Colin, to help them find their true happiness. Colin and Mia were best friends growing up and even pledged their true love to each other. Through their college years they grew apart from each other. Colin's grandma always knew that they belonged together, so upon her death she had a treasure hunt to bring back memories. Loved how Colin and Mia reconnected through the treasure hunt and visiting the residents of Icicle Falls. My favorite part was Justine's ( Colin's grandma) letters to her mom. Remember, There's No Place Like Home.

Loved this latest installment of the Life in Icicle Falls series. Ms. Roberts has brought us a fun tale of second chances, family love, and adventure. Mia and Colin are back in Icicle Falls after the beloved Grandma Justine passes away. Lifetime friends and high school sweethearts, these two lost their connection when they went away to college. Now as they are reunited it would seem that Grandma Justine is finished teaching them a few things. As they head off on a scavenger hunt designed by Justine, they may just find that the greatest treasure in life is the love they have for one another. Definitely a book and series I recommend to everyone.

Sometimes less is more. Sheila Roberts proved that with Home on Apple Blossom Road. Mia and Colin's complicated history kept them apart from home, family and each other. Now years later love will bring them together in grief and with a little help from a special woman help them find the love they lost. Home on Apple Blossom Road is a story of forgiveness, remembrance, tears and matchmaking. Plain and simple this is beautiful story that will be hard to forget.
